Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Hi Endsormeans. I will take my N900 out of the drawer, dust it off and charge it up if you can tell me how to get GTKgep to work on it. Thanks!

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

It is easier to get running than most things around here.

Of course.
You bet mscion.
Give me about ....hm...
give me a bit.
a few days maybe..
at worst it may be longer ..
I am just dealing currently with a few things.

It isn't difficult to get GTKgep installed and running..
and shouldn't take long before you are obliviously ignoring everything else around you whilst playing guitar (or whatever else electrified) pumping it through GTKgep on your n900 and outing it to either headphones / earbuds or your computer or your mixer or your amp

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Each has its own pros and cons. Buy both of them if you can afford it. Droid4 is a bit more future-proof, I guess, due to its CPU/RAM.

Main Droid 4 problem, - currently no acceleration, which slows down hildon. However this is being worked on.

N900 is let down by the ram/cpu combo mainly, and then getting audio from voice calls is going to be another PITA aiui, but otherwise support for it is really good.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

hm...
interesting.

but could it handle GTKgep without blowing the n900 audio?

that is my only drawback to using Leste on n900 right away...
It looked too sketchy from the mention of audio not quite there yet.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

So, at a guess, we might get a Droid 4 version that can be used for phone calls/SMS first, but it might be without acceleration?
Also, does anyone know how practical it would be to support the Photon Q with ML (or PMOS) as I've not seen it mentioned, and it has slightly higher specs.?

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Your best shot is to reverse engineer it. We might be able to make fremantle-in-a-chroot work, but it's not a priority. Or a leste armel build, but there's a lot of things that might just not work.

I don't think it's easy to blow up the audio at all. And you can just use the HP instead of the speakers and then there is no chance to damage anything.

I think the N900 has the best support, but the Droid 4 is more likely to get working voice calls soon. The Droid 4 will be great once we have PowerVR working on there. Probably a few months out, though. You could also check out / wait for the pine64 phone.


Correct regaring Droid 4. N900 can also do SMS though, calls are just annoying with audio routing, but that too could work in the near future.

No idea on the Photon, but I think we have a lot of devices we have to worry about already, so I am not personally inclined to work on more, but you could try to make it work. Or help the postmarketOS people with packaging all of Maemo Leste - https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/issues/234

Hi,

PinePhone support is coming together. Thanks to the work done by Pine64 for making the device, giving us devkits, but also postmarketOS, UBports and KDE Plasma guys for working on the drivers.

Here's a quick video (sorry for the focus): https://wizzup.org/pinephone-hd-initial.mp4

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

hmmmm sounds interesting, is there any chance to make gemini pda supported :) I would give a try to leste

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

yes, i am interested on gemini-p.d.a and maemo-7

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Someone did a port to the Gemini PDA already, based on the stock kernel and libhybris, see https://maemo-leste.github.io/maemo-...pril-2018.html

That said, 'official' support (whatever that means) might not follow until there is decent mainline support. Currently I've been doing quite some hardware enablement/testing and I don't want to do more of it, but rather focus on software.

There is no image for it yet, but I assume we could help provide such an image.

It's been too long since a status update post, one will follow in the next few days.
